Mine would be the Keiths!

Keith Emerson (keyboards)

Keith Richards (guitar)

Keith Moon (drums)

Keith Reid (lyrics)

Lock them in a house, and you'd have a great little television show too!

Drums: Danny Carey

Vocals: Cedric Bixler-Zavala

Piano: Keith Emerson

and throw in some killer horns.

Also: 3 potential singers, and all insanely different kinds of music.

I came up with this one this morning

Greg Lake - bass/vocals
Patrick Moraz - keys
Steve Hackett - guitar
David Jackson - sax/flute
Bill Bruford - drums

They would have a fairly light, jazzy feel to them.

How about this:

Captain Beefheart - Saxaphone/Vocals

Les Claypool - Bass/Vocals

Frank Zappa - Guitar/Vocals

Tom Waits - Piano/Guitar/Percussion/Vocals

Jamie Muir - Drums/Percussion

The Residents - Everything else

That would be goofy.

I tihnk this would be interesting

Derek Sharinian

John Myung

Danny Carey

I tihnk it with Dereks awesome writing, and the simplisity of a trio would give Myung a lot of room to really play to his ability, unlike he does in DT. and Carey's just awesome, and will really lock it in there, and not take away from the other two.

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Though this could never work - Wakeman would walk out as soon as he saw Omar

- here's my dream team:

John Wetton - Vocals/Bass? (King Crimson)
Robert Fripp - Guitar/Mellotron (King Crimson)
Omar A Rodriguez-Lopez - Guitar/Writing/Production (The Mars Volta)
Rick Wakeman - Keyboards (Yes)
Chris Squire - Bass/Vocals? (Yes)
Jon Theodore - Drums (The Mars Volta)
Robbie Steinhardt - Violin/Cello (Kansas)

What they would sound like... Larks' Tongues on drugs. Crazy, punk-influenced drugs, with keyboards and violins going everywhere. It would be awesome.

Alright, I might as well take a shot (though basically no one reads these, but it's a nice mental exercise)

Percussion: Bill Bruford
Flute/Arranging: Ian Anderson
Guitar: John Mclaughlin
Keys: Rick Wakeman
Bass Guitar: Tony Levin
Lead Vocals: Richard Sinclair
Production: Brian Eno

And to make things interesting, an explanation for why this group:

First of all, I want a thorough mix of jazz and classical influences. This is why I have combined some jazzier types (such as Bruford and Mclaughlin) with some more classically-influenced musicians (Wakeman and Anderson). For a bassist I was thinking we need someone very solid without too many flourishes - so I picked Tony Levin, who can distinguish himself with the Chapman Stick. I picked Sinclair as the lead vocalist because, in my opinion, he has one of the most accessible voices in progressive music. And to keep all these ambitious musicians in line, I picked Eno as a producer - he'll keep things nice and sweet, maybe add in some background ambience on certain tracks.

And for a name, they are to be called: Yethro Crimson Orchestravan.

Their first album will be called: In the Mounting Flame of a Passion Pink Edge.

Go and listen to my music.
